Upcoming Supreme Court confirmation involving judge Amy Coney Barrett. Thanks for being with us. Guest good morning. Host remind our viewers about the organization and where you stand politically. Guest we are looking to get judges confirmed to our committed to interpreting the constitution and the laws as they are written. You have any active role in the president s choice for Supreme Court . Guest thats the president s call and it is done through the White House Counsel Office but im thrilled, i felt like everyone he was looking at closely was really wellqualified. I felt like i couldnt be in a better position. I would have been happy if it was Amy Coney Barrett or barbara lagoa, he had some great choices. Host i suppose the question you are asked a lot these days is about the overall impact on the court and how it changes when it comes to the justices themselves. How would you answer that . Guest its a shift in perspective and how we look at the law versus ruth bader ginsburg. In herey barrett follows footsteps as a woman, a woman with children, accomplishing what she has as a scholar and a judge. But she also has a different perspective in terms of how to interpret the constitution, much like ginsbergs judge good friend, justice scalia. She talked about looking at the text of the law and really interpreting the text as written and leaving changes to the text to the legislature. We have seen and heard her role now is a federal judge, shes been very articulate about that and careful to look at what the constitution says. We dont interpret them as we wish they were or feel like they should be updated. We look at the words as they were understood when they were passed. Either parts of the initial constitution or later amendments. You have to look at them as they were meant to the people that passed them and if you want to make changes, thats what the amendment process is for. Host its been reported that your agency is spending quite a bit of money in this effort. How much . Spent demanded justice 10 million on the fight to oppose barrett so we said match you, we will spend the same amount to defend her. 4 host so, 10 million . Guest thats our budget for the first month of the process. Host one of the ads that you will have supporting the candidate, we will show the viewers the ad and then we will come back to ask about it. Guest sure. [video clip] you will hear a lot about Amy Coney Barrett. Here it from her. Decideare not there to cases as you may prefer. You are there to do your duty and follow the law where it may take you. Themy Coney Barrett follows law and ignores politics. Incholar and judge grounded faith and family, shes the Perfect Choice to follow justice ginsburg. Host can i ask you about the final line, the Perfect Choice to follow justice ginsberg, what do you mean by that . Guest i think shes going to be an excellent judge, as i said before. You heard it in her own statement, and her nomination, she embodies so many of the that people admire about justice ginsburg. Shes a mother. Shes a person of faith. She has a Wonderful Partnership with her husband, down to the fact that it seems like marty ginsburg, Justice Ginsburgs husband and Jesse Barrett are known as the best cook in the family,
